I have searched this site and the manuals I have and have not been able to find the torque sequence and specs for the installing the intake and exhaust manifolds.

My engine is a 1954 235ci with hydraulic lifters.

A search of the internet provides conflicting data.

I may very probably overlooked the information, but even a search of the Old Car Manual Project site didn't give me an answer.

I have read on this site to install and torque both the manifolds before tightening the bolts that hold one to the other, but I can't find specifics as to sequence or torque.

My impression is that the bolts with the clamps have different torque specs than the rest.

I assume that all the answers I am looking for are readily available...but I have not been able to find them.

Thanks!
